45593 Skipton station. April 1966
BR Jubilee class 45593 'Kolhapur' at Skipton, Yorkshire station on, I believe, April 30th 1966. It was heading 'The South Yorkshireman No.5 Rail Tour' from Bradford to Carlisle. Note the bowler-hatted crewman, probably an Inspector, what appear to be a 'Black 5' in the main down platform and 'Jinty' on shunting duties, and yellow cab-side warning stripe. This was my first railway photo with a much-improved though modest camera replacing old Brownie Box camera, thank goodness. Unfortunately, thanks to budget constraints I had to use Agfa 35mm CT-18 colour slide film ("Agfacolor") which produces a purplish tinge, now mostly limited to the bottom corners since a high-res scan and other adjustments.
Click on this high-res photo for a good close-up look.
